Abstract
A first controller manages first mapping information for accessing data stored in a storage area, management of which is assigned to the first controller, and second mapping information for accessing data stored in a predetermined storage area, management of which is assigned to a second controller. The second controller, when having executed garbage collection on the predetermined storage area, changes mapping information to post-migration mapping information for accessing data after being migrated by the garbage collection. The first controller acquires the post-migration mapping information from the second controller, and updates the second mapping information using the post-migration mapping information when information in the second mapping information and is to be used for accessing the data in the predetermined storage area has been updated accompanying the garbage collection when the first controller accesses the data in the predetermined storage area after the garbage collection by using the second mapping information.
